SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS WITH CHEDDAR GRITS image

Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2-1/3 cups homemade or low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup old-fashioned (not quick-cooking) grits
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar
1/2 tsp. Tabasco or other hot sauce; more to taste
1/2 lb. medium-thick asparagus, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 scallions (green parts only), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 Tbs. of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the broth and bring to a boil over high heat. While stirring constantly, pour in the grits and 1/4 tsp. salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar and 1/4 tsp. of the hot sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more hot sauce. Cover and set aside in a warm spot. Heat 1 Tbs. of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, sprinkle with a little salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender and a little browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp is opaque and the asparagus is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the Worcestershire sauce and the remaining 1/4 tsp. hot sauce. Melt the remaining 2-1/2 Tbs. butter into the shrimp and asparagus. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more hot sauce. Serve the shrimp and asparagus over the grits, sprinkled with the scallions nutrition information (per serving): Size : based on three servings; Calories (kcal): 510; Fat (g): 25; Fat Calories (kcal): 220; Saturated Fat (g): 14; Protein (g): 44; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 7; Carbohydrates (g): 29; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 2; Sodium (mg): 920; Cholesterol (mg): 355; Fiber (g): 1;

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of cheddar cheese, so I used Parmesan instead. It was still very good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp cocktail left over from a party and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grits turned out lumpy. I think I might have added too much milk.

I had some trouble finding fresh asparagus, so I used frozen instead. It worked out just fine.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was very good.

This shrimp and asparagus with cheddar grits dish was absolutely delicious! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the asparagus was still slightly crunchy. The cheddar grits were creamy and cheesy, and they paired perfectly with the seafood and vegeta
